Cringe Comedy: Spike Can Dance - Go My Son

Quite possibly the most odd video I've ever seen. Watching it is like watching someone violate themselves with a cheese grater, hilarious but at the same time it makes me want to puke. It's obvious this man "Spike" is doing these videos just for the lulz... or at least I'm certainly hoping...



Is this gentleman an aspie?

Science: A Universe From Nothing by Lawrence Krauss

Lawrence Krauss is an author of many books on physics, some of you may have read his book "The Physics of Star Trek". He is also a professor for ASU's  physics department. In the video he goes on to explain the possible origins of the universe, as well as how it may end. The video is over an hour long, but it gets very interesting. So if you have nothing planned for the next hour I suggest watching it in full.

Humanities: StoryCorps

StoryCorps is a organization that is archiving a verbal history of sorts from Americans. The description on their website states:

"Our mission is to provide Americans of all backgrounds and beliefs with the opportunity to record, share, and preserve the stories of our lives.

Since 2003, StoryCorps has collected and archived more than 30,000 interviews from more than 60,000 participants. Each conversation is recorded on a free CD to share, and is preserved at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress. StoryCorps is one of the largest oral history projects of its kind, and millions listen to our broadcasts on public radio and the web."

Below is the story "Germans in the Woods" as told by Joseph Robertson.
It's an artistic rendition of this gentleman's memory about an event that happened to him in WWII.




It's very touching, and provides a good window into the human soul. Showing an example of our ultimate compassion towards each other.
